Accurately measure the power consumption of any plug-in appliance
This German-designed plug-in power meter will accurately measure the power consumption of individual electrical appliances within the home.
Simply plug the power meter unit into a wall socket, then plug the appliance you wish to test into the power meter.
The LCD display will clearly show the amount of power the appliance consumes. Input your unit peak and off-peak energy costs (these should be shown on your electricity bill) and the monitor will tell you:
The total energy consumed during measuring time, displayed in Kilo Watt Hours (KWH)
The cost of the energy consumed based on the unit prices input by you.
The current electricity consumption of the appliance in Amps.
The power consumption in Watts.
Voltage and frequency displayed in Volts and Hertz

Designed for 230V or 240V UK electrical appliance / appliances, the plug-in power meter gives you the knowledge to save money on your electricity bill.
Having battery backup to maintain the memory during power cuts or when moving the appliance is a big plus, compared with the Efergy meter, especially if doing longer-term assessments. My only quibble is the orientation of the UK socket which means th
e appliance lead obscures the control and readout. Having the body of the device below the plug section means it's sometimes awkward to deploy when the wall socket is near the floor or desktop.
